Mission: Impossible 7 director on why the movie has been split in two and a major "casting coup"
Christopher McQuarrie explains why we're getting two ♈Mission: Impossible movies in two years

Your mission, should you choose to accept it, is to watch two new Miss🦂ion: Impossible movies in 2021 and 2022. Easy, right? Well, try directing them.
Christopher McQuarrie has opened up 🐭on why the next instalment in the franchise was split into two –🦩 and also hinted at a major as-yet-unrevealed addition to the cast.
“I said to Tom [Cruise], 'I really want to make [澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:Mission: Impossible Fallout] more of an emotional journey for [Ethan Hunt],'" McQuarrie told the about the decision to do an 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:Avengers: Infinity War/Endgame-style back-to-back release in consecutive years. "Going into this, I said, 'I want to tak🀅e what we learned from Fallout and apply it to every character in the movie. I want everyone to have an emotional arc.”
“We realized we had a movie that was two hours, 40 minutes long,&rdqu💜o; 𓃲McQuarrie continued. “And every scene in it was necessary,” while adding that “the ending of the first movie snapped into place,” during development.
So, who&rsqဣuo;s turning up alongside Cruise&ꦗrsquo;s Ethan Hunt for the unprecedented Mission: Impossible operation? Simon Pegg and Ving Rhames return from previous movies, as do Rebecca Ferguson and Vanessa Kirby. Lorne Balfe is back as composer.
But it’s t༒he new faces that should surprise. H൩ayley Atwell – who can now count a Mission: Impossible two-hour stunt audition for the role on her CV – will star, as will another major name if McQuarrie is to be believed.
“There is someone we were talking to before the world blew up," he said. "An actor I was very excited about. I don't know where that is, because we had talked days before and it was an incredibly eﷺxciting casting coup.”
